Horowitz plays CHOPIN Mazurka in A Minor, Opus 17, No.4

Vladimir Horowitz - The Last Romantic (1985), take 04: CHOPIN Mazurka in A Minor, Opus 17, No.4

[@rothschildianum]

To play this piece is not hard, but to play Horowitz' quality is totally in different category. His playing was so colorful and fun to listen.

[@minr6851]

This is an art!!!

[@robertvasi]

To play it the way it’s suppose to be played, by intention of Chopin , is very hard. Technique is not fast playing only.

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

It's easy to play like this, I already tried it and the beginning was identical.

[@jaimeledezma8205]

Decir : no es tan difícil, es un insulto ! Grande, Horowitz ❤

[@Yue117]

I love to listen to Horowitz recordings but watching him play is really something else. His technique is so singular, clean and sober.

[@biffii5568]

What i would pay to listen to him in the 40's..

[@Poeme340]

The most bittersweet of Chopin’s mazurkas brought to life and full expression by the most subtle and sublime of artists.

[@drooyrich1279]

Never got to see a concert of him .. such a regret !! May you rest in peace, Maestro

[@irvincheung]

Now... THAT'S the true feeling & flow of a Mazurka! Bravo Vladimir! Bravo!

[@najinelson6742]

That's finest Jazz in Polish Mazurka-style. Awesome

[@hirokomakio1955]

丁寧に奏される1音ずつに、豊かな表情が有ってステキな演奏だなぁ…と感じました。特徴的なリズムも表現がお上手にお聴きしました。

[@Themozartthug]

I get the feeling from the "shhhhhhhhh" that he, in his older days, had had enough of the audience making noise. It's like he was beyond giving them any form of forgiveness lol

[@mifayliu4585]

This song sounds so graceful!

[@piano444]

ホロヴィッツの演奏は、唯一無二の歌い方をするので、 ショパンの曲に新しい視点が生まれます。素晴らしい！ この曲にこんな歌い方があったなんて……特に最後のコーダの辺り……

[@alfredomontane578]

Una versión que es imposible mejorar. Uno de los más grandes virtuosos del piano,nos emociona con esta breve pero grandiosa obra que no necesita de su virtuosismo pero sí, de su gran arte;Horowitz,grande entre los grandes.

[@SpontaneityJD]

Sublime... af

[@foxvideo2233]

Great, best Mazurka of Chopin

[@leonardodelyrarodrigues3752]

These last three chords at the end, which are the repetition of the beginning, break my soul in the middle, it's terrifying, horrifying, and at the same time sweet and nostalgic

[@MarcAmengual]

Marvelous rendition.

[@789armstrong]

Awesome! Horowitz in a class by himself.

[@armelleraffard4692]

C'est la mazurka la plus jazzy que je connaisse sous les doigts d'Horowitz !

Hello, sorry for bothering. I was wondering - can i have a permission to use this sound for my vlog that I'm working on now? or can you tell me how can I get one? Thank you in advance for your help.

[@CBtronica]

Superb performance as everything that comes from Horowitz. The only issue is with video. It's slighty out of pitch standard A 440Hz.

[@willcrisp4948]

I actually think I prefer it slightly tuned up as opposed to the standard tuning

[@meanmrmusician9469]

Can't help but think this sounds very jazzy. Maybe it's the tone of the piano or the fact that the video is pitched up a little bit.

[@km6206]

i agree. This is where jazz harmony and phrasing comes from in part. Probably why I like this one so much. A lot of Chopin seems corny in comparison.

[@quanlethienminh6002]

Late Chopin certainly was foreshadowing jazz harmony and voicing

[@jacobhoover4393]

[@Skuhyar]

why his piano is tune a semitone higher?

[@hansmeyer509]

It is a problem of the video. It is in higher pitch and faster than the original recording. In other versions of this take in youtube the sound and the tempo are normal

[@josiper6662]

In fact, horowitz had his piano specially tuned so it would be about a semitone flat
